Your draft is to the point but phrased in an awfully abstract 
way.  I think that it's easier for most people (for me certainly)
to talk over abstract issues when there are concrete examples 
attached.  In this case, I think Jonathan's concern about the
RDF address-generation-by-concatenation model highlights a
few of these issues, and any policy which addresses these 
issues ought to imply a resolution to that dispute as well.  So
if you wanted to send that to the TAG, I'd add a note highlighting
this issue as a concrete example.

BTW, at the moment I share Jonathan's concern over the 
concatenation model of URI generation and don't think 
you ought to rush to close this issue.  Having said that,
I'm a bit out of date with the recent debate.  But having
said that, if Jonathan's right that RDF and Schema are
out of sync on this, that's a REAL architectural red flag.
